The messy up-do

In case you missed the memo, up-do’s have made a major comeback. When it comes to the swept-up style, in 2020, the messier, the better. We're taking major style inspo from Gigi Hadid's casual top-knot bun.

The high-pony

Summer 2020 is calling for high ponytails in a big way. Tease for extra volume and sweep hair high up on the crown, securing with a fun scrunchie for added style points.

Two-tone hair

Reminding us all that some hair trends never truly die (ahem: Christina Aguilera in her 'Dirrty' phase), the two-tone hair colour trend is back. Never one to miss an opportunity to show us just how versatile her style is, Dua Lipa manages to make this look her own with blonde-on-black colouring.

The supermodel special

Choppy and chin-length or shorter, this cut is all about showcasing your facial features and working the off-duty model look. We love the surprisingly versatility of this style, which can be worn straight or with textured waves, pinned back or styled with trendy headband accessories.

An excess in (hair) accessories

Last Paris Fashion Week had the street style crowd rocking bold pins, bejeweled clips, and designer-logo hair accessories, as the masses got a taste of the next big hair trend for 2020. The only rule with this one seems to be: more is more. So have fun with it.

Bold highlights

From the natural look to the bright-and-bold, chunky, bright highlights are also a big hair trend for summer 2020. If you’re looking to make a statement with this one, opt for the retro feels with highlights in your front pieces only. Check out Kylie Jenner's Instagram for some major inspo on this one.

Rooted blonde

Go for the platinum blonde in 2020 – but keep those roots dark, for a look that’s both on-trend and easy to maintain.

Deep side-parts

Leave it to Zoey Deutch to slay the red carpet and stay ahead of the curve with a trending hue, cut and style – all in one. This deep side-part trend is all about going as far as your hair will let you go and smoothing it over on either side of the part.

Slicked-back low bun with a center part

Thankfully for those of us who live for quick-and-easy glam, the slicked-back bun is still going strong in 2020. Be sure to create a center part before pulling back the hair for a look that’s chic and on-trend for the summer.

The piecey-updo

Anyone else feeling all the ‘90’s feels here? Easy enough to duplicate, simply slick hair back into a low bun or high pony, and pull two pieces toward the front, smoothing them with a hair iron if needed.
